Ok, there's only one chapter after this one. So sad! But… the next one'll be reeeaaaalllly long to make up for the shortness now. It's my evil brother's fault; he keeps kicking me off the computer.

Sorry if this chapter's bad, I blame it on my pet rats, they're doing their "I'm cuter then Yuki, Kyo and Pillow-Chan all mixed together" dance. St00pid rats… (Nawh, I luff them really…)

So, review like you've never reviewed before, because then I might get the next chapter done sooner. No, really.

My thanks go to all my wonderful msn friends that I ranted to about random stuff while typing, my best friend Mo-Chan who's dragging me on a shopping trip on Saturday and my Pillow, Pishaw, who inspired this fic.


Chapter 6

Yuki sighed, finally moving from his position by the front door. It had been over an hour since a rather pissed-off Hatori had dragged Haru back to the Sohma estate (apparently Haru hadn't told anyone where he'd been for the last 2 days), and Yuki hadn't moved from his waving-goodbye spot since. He rubbed his eye sleepily, it was getting late and he had school tomorrow. Perhaps it was time to hit the hay.

Yuki raised an eyebrow. "Hit the hay"? Where did that come from? Geez, he was starting to sound like… some random adult. Yuki rolled his eyes at his own lack of imagination.

"Hey!"

Yuki turned around to find himself almost face-to-face with Kyo, and so jumped several feet into the air. To hide this, he muttered, "What do you want?" whilst glaring at the floor.

"Umm…" Kyo scratched the back of his head, "just… Umm… What'sgoingonbetweenyouandHaru?"

"Could you repeat that? I don't speak stupid cat,"

Kyo growled, "I asked what's going on between… youandHaru,"

"What d'you care…?" Asked Yuki, looking very surprised.

"Umm… I DON'T!"

Yuki raised an eyebrow.

"Shigure asked!"

Yuki raised the eyebrow further.

"Ok… I care. Quit pulling that face!" Kyo yelled, obviously in annoyed-mode.

"Umm… okay…" replied Yuki, and his eyebrow fell back to its normal position, "Why do you care about me and Haru?"

"Well… umm…" Kyo then proceeded to stutter, blush and generally act like the Yuki Fanclub. Kyo acting like the Yuki Fanclub actually makes him look a lot cuter, thus making Yuki blush too. Aww!

"Well… me and Haru aren't going out… or anything like that…"

"But… The date! This morning!"

"Er, no… we're not going out…"

"Good!" Kyo yelled. Judging from Yuki's surprised look, Kyo had said that out loud… Oh no… "I mean… Then… Akito won't kill you or something…?" Kyo let out a sigh, thinking he'd covered himself well, and headed for the door.

Yuki sighed, "You hate me… don't you?"

"No! Well, you're not so bad…" Kyo turned around, only to see Yuki raising an eyebrow, "Will you quit that, Geez!"

"Okay, fine," replied Yuki, and he began to head to his room. When he was halfway up the stairs, he realised Kyo was following him. He turned around to see Kyo right behind him.

"Yuki… I… Err… I… love you!" Kyo blurted out. He immediately blushed and turned away. Thinking the silence to be a bad one, he began to head downstairs but was stopped by a hand on his shoulder.

"Kyo, wait!"

Kyo turned around, but stared at the floor, not exactly sure of what Yuki's response to this would be.

"Kyo… I love you too!"

Kyo looked straight up at that. The look in Yuki's eyes told him Yuki was not joking, but Kyo found he was unable to believe it. "No… you don't. The rat can't be in love with the rat!"

"But… the cat can be in love with the rat?" Yuki lowered his gaze to the floor, and head off to bed. If that was what Kyo thought, then Yuki didn't want to spend the night trying to change his mind.

He lay on his bed without bothering to change, and hugged Pillow-Chan close. He stayed there for ten minutes, wondering if Tohru knew Yuki had his in her closet several times with Pillow-Chan. He really needed caffeine pills. Soon, there was a knock at the door.

"Umm… come in?"

The door slid open, and Kyo poked his head in.

"Yuki, I'm sorry if I upset you. I just didn't believe you would ever love me back,"

"Neither did I, but I didn't dismiss your feelings!"

"I'm…" Kyo began angrily, but his expression softened, "I'm sorry, ok?"

"Ok…" replied Yuki, finally turning his head to look at Kyo. He looked really nervous where he was stood, "You can come in, you know?"

Kyo smiled; relieved he had been invited away from the awkwardness that was standing in Yuki's door. He walked in, and plopped himself onto Yuki's bed. Yuki sighed, and crawled across the bed closer to Kyo.

"Don't sit so far away!" Yuki whined.

"Why?"

"'Cause I'm tired…" answered Yuki, laying his head on Kyo shoulder. Kyo realised he was tired, too. He moved Yuki off of him and lay down on Yuki's bed. Yuki smiled and lay down next to him. Kyo brought his arm's protectively around the frailer boy next to him.

"'Night…" he muttered sleepily.

Yuki shyly kissed Kyo on the cheek before muttering, "Goodnight, Kyo-Chan."


So… is that cute enough? Probably not… but I pwomise the next chapter's real cute. Honest! I'll start typing it tomorrow right after I send "Thank god it's Friday" ecards to all my friends (don't ask… --'). So, review and stuff… ok…?
